Thank you, susandamore for contributing your very clear answer. Turbotax is misleading folks with summarizing expenses before explaining that the Maximum Refund Guarantee is only charged if you deduct it from the refund. It's an unfortunate approach because it does look like an undisclosed and required cost. Puts a bad taste in people's mouth unnecessarily.
Your clear explanation allowed me to proceed through knowing I had an option.
Thanks!
